The older generation often says that those who cannot wash their hair during menstruation will get sick. So, many girls now have a question, is it true that they cannot wash their hair during menstruation? Now let's take a look at the potential problems of washing hair during menstruation!
1. Western medicine believes that hair cannot be washed during menstruation, but the theory of traditional Chinese medicine is different. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the head is the first of the six yang, and the uterus is the starting point of the Ren meridian. During physiological periods, blood circulation is already relatively poor. Washing hair can cause blood to concentrate in the head, affecting uterine blood circulation and making it difficult to completely eliminate blood from the uterus, which can easily lead to a decrease in menstrual blood volume or menstrual pain.
2. On the other hand, due to the opening of pores on the hair roots, if exposed to wind and cold, it can easily lead to headaches, especially when washing hair at night or before bedtime.
3. Due to the yin at night and the head being the head of the six yang, when yin and yang are opposite, headaches will be more severe. If your hair is not completely dry and you go to bed immediately, various problems will definitely come to you with low body resistance and metabolism.
4. Scientists' research results also indicate that washing hair during menstruation can cause uterine contractions due to stimulation of brain nerves. If the uterus contracts, there will be a chaotic secretion of hormones in the body. If this situation accumulates over time, it will cause cell canceration, leading to the occurrence of gynecological cancers such as breast cancer and uterine cancer.
5. During menstruation, women's body's resistance is weaker than usual, so it is important to pay attention to maintenance. If not, it may have a certain impact on the body. So it's best for female friends not to wash their hair during their menstrual period. If there are special circumstances, they can't wash their hair in the first three days. They can't use cold water to wash their hair, they need to use hot water.
